the 3 lowest subcostal branches are forked, the two upper ones rising from the cell; the middle radial branch 
rises from above the lower cell-angle, the uppermost from below the upper cell-angle. 
N. bertha Schs. (40 c). Forewing in the basal area yellowish-reddish, behind it and at the hind-margin bertha. 
greyish-brown, more or less mixed with white, the most intensely before the margin, with a pointedly notched 
anterior transverse line and an indistinct double posterior line, which are connected by black above the hind- 
margin; on the cross-vein there are 2 white dots; behind the transverse line which in its lower part is filled 
up with white, there is a faded white oblique band followed by the white undulate line, behind which 
the veins are striped white. Hindwing white, at the apex slightly irrorated with reddish-brown. Brazil. 
109. Genus: ]^aiBaiiioii4Hlcs Hmps. 
Separated from N eomonodes by the developed proboscis, the absence of the thoracal tufts, whereas 
those on the abdomen are present. Forewing long and narrow with a rounded apex, without the indentation 
with only 3 subcostal branches, on the hindwing the upper median branch anastomoses with the lowest radial 
branch. 2 small South American species are known. 
N. albilinea Hmp.s. has grey forewings irrorated with brown, strewn with black in the basal and mar- albilinea. 
ginal areas, with two white, black-scaled transverse lines, the anterior line being removed almost into the 
centre; in the lower cell-angle there is a black dot; outside there is yet a dark subterminal shadow. Hindwing 
greyish-brown. Expanse of wings: 14 mm. Venezuela. 
N. trilineata Schs. (42 e). Forewing at the base blackish brownish-grey, behind it on the white ground trilineata, 
irrorated with yellowish-red, in the costal half dark grey with 3 blackish-brown transverse lines, the anterior 
of which is straight, the middle one in the cell proximally bordered with white, the posterior line distally as 
far as the reniform macula which is composed of a dark semicircle, the distal half of which circle is formed by 
the posterior transverse line; a darker subapical shadow. Hindwing grey, at the margin darker. Expanse of 
wings: 13 mm. French Guinea. 
110. Genus: Mieromoiiotles limps. 
It has longer palpi than the preceding, the last joint being long and slender. Thorax and abdomen 
tuftless, or only on the metathorax with a flat small tuft. Smaller slender insects the wings of which exhibit 
almost the same neuration as described in Neomonodes, except the uppermost radial branch of the forewing 
rising from the upper cell-angle. 
M. mochensis Schs. ( = cassida Dyar) (40c). Forewing coppery red-brown, feebly irrorated with mochensis. 
blackish, at the base irrorated with whitish, behind it and at the margin tinted with a brownish grey, the anterior 
transverse line double, filled up with whitish, the posterior line single, distally bordered with white; the ring- 
macula is a black dot, the reniform macula a small spot, between both extends a faded blackish median line; 
undulate line indistinctly lighter. Hindwing reddish-brown with a central spot and postmedian line. Mexico. 
M. leucosticta Schs. (42 f) has blackish-brown forewings with small lilac whitish, partly dark-edged leucosticta. 
spots being arranged as transverse lines, besides one at the base of the costal margin, 2 above each other forming 
the reniform macula, and some subterminal and marginal dots. Hindwing brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 
14 mm. French Guiana. 
M. excellens Schs. (42 f). Forewing olive-brown, at the base, at the hind-margin and before the anterior excellens. 
transverse line dark brown, irrorated with white here, with darker brown, white-edged transverse lines, the 
posterior line being punctiform; near its upper end with a white broad stripe to the apex; the median area 
is in the disc of a brighter brown colour; before the margin there is a whitish subterminal shadow. Expanse 
of wings: 15 mm. French Guiana. 
M. marita Schs. (40 c). The whitish forewing is irrorated with red-brown, in the proximal area lighter, marita. 
the transverse lines being bordered with whitish, the proximal one being indistinctly double, and to it a white, 
below black-striped oblique stripe extends from the apex; the maculae are small feeble yellowish-white spots, 
the reniform macula is brown-centred. Hindwing light brown. Brazil. 
M. endotherma Dyar (42 f) has violettish-brown forewings with a bent brown line from the centre endotherma. 
of the costal margin to the distal third of the hind-margin, where there is in front of it a large ochreous-brown 
spot with a purple brown patch proximad; distally to the brown line there is a white line and between them 
the yellowish reniform macula; in the apex there is a purple spot, below it a brown interrupted streak, 
proximally below it a small yellow spot. Hindwing dark brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Mexico. 
M. semiluna Dgn. Forewing chestnut-brown, before and behind the centre darker with a large white semiluna. 
crescent if orm spot in the cell-end, above distally above it another very small white spot. Hindwing somewhat 
lighter brown. Expanse of wings: 19 mm. Colombia.
